Despite such knee-pants resentment of authority, the two elected the priesthood for a career. Daniel went in young, joining the Jesuits at 18 in 1939; he did not visit home again until 1946. Philip enlisted and went to war; in Divine Disobedience, Francine du Plessix Gray's admirable portrait of the Berrigans and other Catholic radicals, a friend characterizes Philip as "an 'exceptionally gifted warrior" who fought in France and Germany and won a second lieutenant's commission.

After graduating from high school in Fall River, Mass., Medeiros decided to enter the priesthood. He was ordained in Washington, D.C., and took an M.A. in philosophy in 1942, then a Ph.D. in sacred theology in 1952 at Catholic University. He did pastoral duties at his home parish in Fall River before being consecrated a bishop and transferred to Brownsville, Texas...
